Various cake decorating projects at CALAT

Here are a montage of various cake decorating projects carried out by my students at CALAT (Croydon Adult Learning and Training) College.  The learners are at all different levels and their journeys have been captured in pictures from cupcakes to tiered cakes, from basketweave to stencilling.

Yes... They are cake Divas!!!

24/7 Cupcake ATM or ACM Machine - My New Bank

I just had to share this article!  Only in the States can you get an ATM machine for cupcakes!!! Bring it on!

Sprinkles in Beverly Hills came up with the amazing idea of a 24 hour cupcake ATM. (Come on Seattle…. jump on this bandwagon!)  The ACM (that’s Automated Cupcake Machine) debuted to such extreme HEAVY traffic, it couldn’t handle it and actually broke!

The machine has 600 cupcakes … but it was receiving over 1,000 sales a day!

(Click on the link above to see how the ACM works).

Even though the machine is 24 hours, more people were staying in line for the ACM than actually go inside and order their treats in person. When the ACM broke, an engineer was quickly brought in to get it back up and running in two hours.  Now, Sprinkles has an employee watch over the machine to make sure nothing bad happens.

Yummy Angry Birds Cupcakes

Angry Bird Cupcakes

Submitted by Jen Dennel, she says;

Here are some photo's of some angry birds cupcakes that I made for my other step-daughter. She turned 15 last week and is a huge fan of angry birds - plays it non-stop - so i thought i would surprise her!. The cupcakes are st clements - orange flavoured sponge with a lemon buttercream icing. And the angry birds were made using different coloured fondants.

Some very cute Angry Birds (extremely addictive like the flavour of these cupcakes).

Brilliant Jen!
